Shearsman published Trevor Joyce's Collected Poems, with the first dream of fire they hunt the cold, to great acclaim in 2001 (and a second edition of the book in 2003), and this volume extracts his remarkable translation of the epic Sweeny Peregrine from that volume and offers it together with a large group of other versions from the Old and Middle Irish, thus offering Anglophone readers a glimpse of some very unusual verse that rarely sees the light of day outside academic volumes, while also transposing it into a form that will seem familiar to readers of Joyce's own work.
Please note that production difficulties have forced a delay to the publication date of this title, but we hope to make it available by early October 2008.
